Government Orders Special Income Courts Across State to Safeguard Farmer Women’s Land Rights
The state government has directed the establishment of special income courts in every taluk centre to protect the property rights of women farmers and to correct income records.
The state government issued an order to set up special income courts, known as "kandaya adalat," in all taluk centres. The initiative aims to protect the property rights of women who own agricultural land and to ensure their ownership is correctly reflected in official income records.
The courts will focus on reviewing and amending existing income documents where discrepancies affect women farmers’ legal ownership. By addressing these gaps, the government seeks to provide clearer legal recognition and reduce disputes over land titles.
Officials highlighted that the move is part of a broader awareness campaign on women’s land rights, encouraging female farmers to assert their ownership and seek redress where necessary. The special courts are expected to expedite the correction process and reinforce the state’s commitment to gender‑inclusive land reforms.
The directive applies uniformly across the state’s taluks, ensuring that women farmers in both rural and semi‑urban areas have access to the legal mechanisms required to safeguard their agricultural assets.
